NLCS
Making a small play on the Cardinals for the series at +170. I was surprised it was this high.
I think in a longer series now, the Mets' starting pitching injuries will catch-up with them, especially now that Oliver Perez will have to pitch. In Maine's start vs Cards, he gave up 7ER in 5IP. Glavine, Maine, Trachsel, Perez….not exactly a scary thought for the Cards.
One thing the Mets have going for them is that Weaver, Suppan, and Carpenter are all righties. (Mulder beat them earlier this year 1-0, but then in the other series they clobbered him....doesn't matter anyway since he's not pitching). Trachsel pitched great in that game, but at Shea gave up 6ER in 5 IP.
A few high scoring games: at Busch....... 8-3 Mets, 1-0 Cards, 6-3 Cards (Lima Time), at Shea: 8-7 Mets, 10-8 Mets, 6-2 Mets. Overs could be a nice play.
With Glavine going Game 1 at home vs. Weaver, Mets need to get that win.
I lose this bet, at least the Mets are in the WS. I win and it’s dirty money (but I’ll take it).
Good Luck.
